Scientific paper

A new instrument for measuring solar magnetic fields, the solar vector magnetograph, is under construction. Its key attributes are high spatial resolution, high optical throughput, fine spectral selectivity, and ultralow instrumental polarization. A 25-cm Cassegrain telescope provides 0.7-arcsec angular resolution. Spectra selection will be via electrically-tunable solid Fabry-Perot filter with a bandwidth of 0.0175 nm. When assembled, the instrument will be tested at APL and then moved to the National Solar Observatory in New Mexico, where it will operate during the upcoming period of peak activity (1989-93).
